EDB Postgres for Kubernetes 1.5.0 release notes v1
We are in the process of migrating the documentation from the previous EDB Postgres for Kubernetes name to the new EDB CloudNativePG Cluster name. You may see references to both names in this documentation.
Released: 17 Jun 2021
This release of EDB Postgres for Kubernetes includes the following:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Feature | Introduce the pg_basebackup bootstrap method to create a new PostgreSQL cluster as a copy of an existing PostgreSQL instance of the same major version, even outside Kubernetes. |
| Feature | Add support for Kubernetes’ tolerations in the Affinity section of the Cluster resource, allowing users to distribute PostgreSQL instances on Kubernetes nodes with the required taint. |
| Feature | Enable specification of a digest to an image name, through the <image>:<tag>@sha256:<digestValue> format, for more deterministic and repeatable deployments. |
